[ REQ 6255]: building geomview with lesstif

[marcus at cathcart.sysc.pdx.edu]

On a Debian 1.2 GNU/Linux box, I tried building lesstif-0.80 (and
lesstif-19970716) with geomview-1.6.1.  Although `gvx' linked up fine,
geomview didn't get as far as bringing up any windows:

(gdb) run
Starting program: /packages/graphics/Geomview/bin/gvx
warning: Unable to find dynamic linker breakpoint function.
Warning: Cannot allocate colormap entry for "#afafafafafaf"
something bad happened!
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x402365f4 in XtWidgetToApplicationContext ()
(gdb) bt

(gdb)         

BTW, that first note is from lib/Xm/Simple.c...

    if (i == num_children)
    {
        /* fixme: what do we do here? */
        printf("something bad happened!\n");
        return rc;
    }
